Speed bumps were initially looked at first, but the devices raised issues for city officials.

"Placement of the speed bumps, you have maintenance costs, damage to personal vehicles and it would be a reduction in response time for emergency vehicles," Myatt said.

For now, council members and the police chief have decided to increase police presence on Mockingbird Street, pending a decision on a proposed ordinance for the subdivision. On July 9, the city council will be presented with a proposal that could reduce the subdivision's speed limit from 30 miles per hour to 20 miles per hour.

As a result, Navasota City Manager Brad Stafford said that one individual ordinance could lead to a citywide ordinance. That would give city officials solutions to consider for future speeding complaints based on set criteria.

"Widths of streets, current speed limit on that street, number of residents or parks in the neighborhood," Stafford said.

He and Chief Myatt say with a city ordinance, the city can speed up their response time to residents' concerns about safety on the streets where they live.

"We can determine at a little quicker what we need to do in an area," Stafford said.
